CHARLOTTE....YOU KNOW THE LEGEND OF MT EBOTT? 

 /yeah...?/ 

 WE ALL CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN.

[ofhumansandangels]

Uh, Charlotte, it’s your turn? We’re waiting on you. You haven’t said anything.

[ofhumansandangels]

....My turn...?

I’m Frisk, too, but if we’re using other names to make it easier, you guys can just call me...Kid. I was the eighth human to fall into Mt Ebott. I have these weird time manipulating abilities called save, load, and reset. I can save where I am in a point in time, go back to that point with a load whenever I want, and reset so that I go back to the time I first fell and showed up in the Underground. I’ve, uh....done that a few times before? So I’ve reset and gone through the Underground more than once, I guess, if, um....

Huh? Oh, Fleurette says they can do that, too. So it’s not just me. That’s nice.

Uh, in my timeline...where I was at, a monster was slipping off a bridge and they were gonna fall, so I tried to help them, but I fell instead. The fall....killed me, and I tried to reset, but then the monster accidentally absorbed my soul, so when I did reset, they went with me, and still had my soul. We showed up in Hotland instead of the Ruins, and, um...we wanted to figure out how to fix things so they didn’t have my soul anymore? But we didn’t know how, so we were, uh, talking it out, I guess...Next thing I knew, I was here. So...I guess I’m dead? But this isn’t the afterlife, is it? Not enough people here for that. And I don’t think I can go to the afterlife if my soul’s been absorbed, anyway. 

I have no idea what’s going on, but all this stuff with showing up at the wrong place, and talking to people I shouldn’t be able to talk to or in ways I shouldn’t be able to talk to them is really stressing me out....I want to know what’s going on.

[ofhumansandangels]

IF THAT’S THE CASE, WE SHOULD INTRODUCE OURSELVES MORE. NOT JUST WITH NAMES, BUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH OUR TIMELINES. IT’LL MAKE FIGURING THIS OUT A LOT EASIER. THAT’S WHAT I THINK.

[ofhumansandangels]

So...where’s everyone from?

I’m from New Home. But before I came here, I was in Waterfall...

I used to live in New Home, but now I live on the surface with Mom.

Whoa, we’re from the same place? Maybe we know each other., or at least seen each other before But how did you get to the surface?

The barrier’s broken. Almost everyone’s on the surface now.

Huh? That’s...not right...the barrier’s still up. I’ve been trying to figure out how to destroy it...

It’s been...destroyed for awhile now?

Yeah.

NO...THAT’S NOT RIGHT. I’M PRETTY SURE THE BARRIER’S STILL UP.

Two of us say it’s destroyed, and two of us say it’s not... What about you, Charlotte? You’re the tie breaker.

...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Barrier? New Home? Waterfall? I’m from the surface.

See, I told you the barrier’s gone! There’s monsters all over the place on the surface now, right Charlotte?

....Monsters? I still don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re not all making fun of me, are you?

....Um....

[ofhumansandangels]

Let’s try again. I’m Fr-, um, you can call me Fleurette.

I don’t care if there’s another Chara here or not, I’m not doing that again. Just call me Farrah.

UH, YOU CAN CALL ME....KID.

I’m...Charlotte.

No.

What?

I’m Frisk. I’m not going by something else.

You’re not going to cooperate.

Heh, alright, I guess we’ll just leave that field ‘null’ then.

Works for me.

[ofhumansandangels]

First, maybe we should introduce ourselves...? So at least we know who everyone here is.

Sounds good to me. I’m Chara.

Nice to meet you! I’m Frisk.

No way.

What?

That’s my name. I’m Frisk.

We can’t...both be Frisk, can we?

You can’t have my name.

MY NAME’S FRISK, TOO.

We’re not doing this. We need to figure something else out.

[ofhumansandangels]

IF YOU’RE OUT THERE, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING...!
